Computers CHAT - 2021

[NT2C]

If you were more computer savvy I'd be happy to send you some stuff to help you build a decent system.  I like my computer to be cutting edge so I end up with stacks of parts that are still pretty good which would work for your purposes.  Cases, cards, power supplies, you name it, I have piles of it.  I just replaced my Special Edition Sapphire RTX 580 card which, while not quite up to the minimum listed, would still run the game fairly well, albeit at lower resolution.  (Might surprise us though, given it's an 8GB card that consistently beat out "better" cards in the ratings.)

Thanks majorhavoc i did try to upgrade it with another  DDR3 8GB Single 1600MHz but it already had one in it and no open slots.

I will look through the link more closely and see if i can find the parts they list.

Thanks for the offer NT   I forgot to mention it's also the small form factor case so tiny at 18 x 14 x 6 inches.

I'm checking out what GPU is equal to or better then the GTX 1650 on this site.

Just for shits & giggles, I ran my desktop machine through it:

UserBenchmarks: Game 198%, Desk 102%, Work 228%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X - 102.4%
GPU: Nvidia RTX 4070 - 197.5%
SSD: WDC WD20EZBX-00AYRA0 2TB - 39.2%
SSD: WD Black NVMe PCIe M.2 256GB (2017) - 138.8%
SSD: WD Blue 500GB - 93.6%
SSD: TOSHIBA-TR200 240GB - 78.1%
HDD: WD Black 1TB (2013) - 63.7%
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F4 2TB - 63.9%
RAM: Team Group Inc TEAMGROUP-UD4-3600 2x31.5GB - 118.5%
MBD: Asus ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO

It surprised me on how well it did because that CPU is several years old.  Not sure what's up with that one SSD but I'll be looking at it later today.

In an effort to speed up this old machine, I just pulled the trigger on a new SSD to replace that 6-year-old (and tiny) WD Black NVMe PCIe M.2 256GB drive.  I stayed with WD Black, but bumped the capacity up a notch or three with this WD_BLACK 4TB SN850X NVMe Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280 drive.

I plan to use it to replace my C: drive and my M: drive (M: is my music drive and it was almost full anyway) and speed up my Windows load times a little.
